    I figure a person who owns both models is in a position to provide good opinions. :)

    Our Pv5 w/17" Toyo Proxes A20s is much quieter than our Honda CR-V -- even after replacing the OEM 16" Bridgestone Dueler noise-makers with Falken Ziex ZE-912s.

    Note: any NEW tire will be quieter due to the extra tread depth absorbing noise.
